Best Blu Rays for HD sound?

Petetheroadie

Hi all,

So there was a thread about which films are best for surround sound that was ressurected recently. I think we should start a new updated list now we have HD Sound. Which blu rays have the best surround tracks? Which film do you put on to demo your system to friends?

band of brothers episode 3
Cloverfield chapter 5

Sometimes it's the more subtle sounds that show off the system to it's best effect.

There's a Disney movie called "The Wild" and any of the scenes set during daytime in the zoo are incredible. it's fully immersible sound, rather than a big explosion or the like (although they're good too), these scenes have loads of stuff going on off screen & all around you, crowd noise, animal noise, wind, absolutely fantastic.

I have built up a few BR discs in the last few months, the ones that impressed me sound-wise were:

- Batman - Dark Knight (Batman begins is not bad too)
- Bond - Quantum of Solace (the opening car chase scene is excellent!)
- Bond - Casino Royale (the opening 2 or 3 chapters)
- Apocolypto (good for the more "atmospheric" sounds, as another poster pointed out)
- I am Legend
- Die Hard 4 (the Truck / fighter jet scene!)

I rented the new Liam Neeson flick, "Taken" a few weeks ago, ropey enough film story-wise, but the sound quality was one of the most impressive I've heard so far!
